In a field already crowded there. is nevertheless room fof the person who has a spe- cialty and concentrates on it. In choosing a subject for speciali- zation, the student should have an eye to the branches of museum work which contain the greatest opportunity for women. The publicity, education and financial departments and the library staff offer possibilities, as well as the technical end, which includes: chem- istry, photography and other lines of special training. Administrative jobs are also available to women, but ow- ing to the small number of posts there are few chances of getting one. ~—-m A student, whether or not she has chosen a definite field for research, should include certain essential sub- jects in her training. In addition to a fine arts background, she should have as many languages as, possible, French, German, Italian, perhaps Latin and Greek, and if she is very enterprising and has a particular in- terest for future ‘study, Sanskrit, Arabic or Chinese. The Fogg Mu- seum and the Newark Museum now give one-year graduate courses in mu- seum work, which discuss the routine jobs and details of the field. In 1936 the Carnegie Institute offered a series of interne fellowships at the Brooklyn Museum which eventually led to per- manent positions.

It was'a unity made up of four arts: literature in the libretto sculpture in the gestures and poses of the actors; architecture in the scen- ery, and music as the main quality which blends in with the other three to form a perfect whole. With this opening comment Miss Fraser renewed for her audience the delightful setting of sixteenth century | : Niiremberg with its guilds, its bottle- glass windows and -happy festivals. Then, fitting the principal characters into the setting, she played the leit motifs which were characteristic of them and which were to appear again arid again in the progression of the opera. She played the spirited song of the Meistersingers, the light, airy theme of. David, the young shoemak- er’s apprentice, and the more sedate ‘theme-of the poet-philosopher, Hans Sachs: With her real feeling for the music, she made the audience actu- . ally see the characters living in the enchanting German village. While she played the music ‘she ex- plained the story iri her own words, re-creating the humor and the beauty of each part of the well-known opera. In a little over an,hour she placed the whole meaning of the opera be- fore her audience. Her ability’ to play the piano with precision and ex- pression, as well as her imagination in describing the characters, the scen- ery and the plot, made the recital not only informative. but very real. To make an audience appreciate an opera without a stage and actors is a great achievement: which Miss Fraser suc- - ceeded jn accomplishing. sr “ Miss Fraser will give the same re- “cital at the Cosmopolitan’ Club in “* Philadelphia, and it is highly recom-. “mended to those who missed the op- portunity of meee her in the Dean- ery. ~M.

European Dictatorships Have Become Religious Chapman Advises Definition * of Democratic Liberties Common Room, January 7.—Euro- pean dictatorships as religious and philisophical appeals to their peoples were discussed by Mrs. Mildred Chap- man, recently returned from study. in Geneva, before guests. cf; Mrs.. [¥an- ning, which included members of ‘the |° International’ Club. Mrs. Chapman urged that we learn to define to our- selves exactly what our liberties mean and that we prune our society of its weakening aspects in order to preserve it from the spiritual imprisonment which many foreign countries are.suf- fering. For them both the individual and society have vanished and only the. nation remains. Propaganda in dictagorship, is in- escapable, Mrs. Chapmé& ¢ saidss Mein Kampf is the German bible. Books and discussions in schools center about the dictator. German children are lit- erally taught to regard Hitler as a “Jesus, in the love and self-sacrifice he feels for his people.” Even sci- ence and knowledge are no longer: for human good. “We do not know or recognize a truth for truth’s sake or sctence’ for science’s sake,” announced a German professor. The Russians, according to a French author to whom Mrs. Chapman re- ferred, regard their government as the victory of natural order over the Mrs. anarchy of capitalism, whose sin lies in the exploitation of man by man. Their dictatorship is regarded as a period of purification; their class, the. proleteriat, are the chosen people who have the mission of spreading the truth, and-_their- high priest-is—Stalin. It is only this incentive which has made bearable their suffering and the completion of their five-year plan in four years. Italian nationalism is very like Ger- man, but it emphasizes state rather ~|than racial unity. Mussolini believes that victory comes to the spirited. European nations, as a whole, are lined up according to whether they are “haves” or “have nots.” Consid- eration of justified demands of these “have nots” would be a move towards peace, Mrs. Chapman feels. the problem which faces democracies of cooperating with Fascist nations is difficult. because the latter have no morality regarding treaties.

Goodenough said in a talk on Jewish Art in the Roman and Byzantine Periods. Dr. Good- enough is Professor of the History of Religion and a Fellow of Jonathan Edwards*College at Yale University. Within the last fifty years, Dr. Goodenough stated, Hebrew art of the early Christian age has been discov- ered in Rome, Malta, North Africa, Palestine and Dura that shows strong Hellenistic influence and which seems to indicate a new feeling not share teristic of Judaism as we know it In Roman catacombs, clearly by the inscriptions, peacocks, co in Hellenistic’ funeral art, winged victories and cupids have -been co! bined with the native Jewish desighs of the seven-branched candlestick, the Torah-shrineand—the—palm=tree.— In Malta, besides the catacomb art, a lamp has been found decorated with an altar and two snakes, the symbol for the Lares of a Roman house, and the familiar Jewish candlé¢stick. The Jewish assimilation. of Hel- lenistic motifs probably began in the East, because the pagan types of de- sign. chosen are for the most part oriental in origin. The eagle, com- mon in the Jewish art of this period, is an eastern symbol, as is the lion’s mask, examples of which may be seen on early statues of the sun-god of Syvia. ( The zodiac‘ which Was widely used in Babylonian art, also appears. This art, which symbolizes the true Judaism, culminates at~ Dura in’ the synagogue built in 245 A. D. Here Bacchic motifs anda picture of Or- pheus with his lyre are combined with Old Testament stories to form a highly intellectualized and _ conven- tionalized narrative. An interpreta- tion of this narrative shows a new mystic feeling in the Jewish religion | ' which explains the use of Greek art forms. The pagan motifs, which are completely abstract, are chosen be- cause of some slight analogy to Jew- ish stories, and are adapted to Jewish| ideas no matter what their implica- tions: For example, Orphic hymns mention the “throne of God”; ac-« cordingly, Orpheus with his lyre sym- bolizes the dream of Moses about oc- cupying God’s throne, without regard to the polytheistic ¢onnotations of Orpheus ‘himself.

PRICELESS VOLUMES ON VIEW IN LIBRARY . A valuable exhibition of the Li- brary’s rare books. are now on view in the New Book Room. Many of them date from the middle eighteenth century and are priceless in value, being irreplaceable. All the books have been waxed ac- cording to a method obtained direct from the British-Museum and are in a special book-case and on the table. A few years ago plans were drawn up for a special book-case to house these precious books which would grant maximum visibility and great- est protection from dust and moisture. Such a case in the New Book Room would guarantee the: continual and permanent showing of the Incunabula with perfect safety. ‘However, as there are no funds available at pres- ent, this. necessary addition to the Library must be- postponed.

The collection is for the Spanish government. - It was also decided that the chapter would evidence its support of the movement for a social economy major by writing a letter to the Cutrieorom Committee. Announcement was made of a dance to be held in Philadelphia by local A. S. U. groups on February‘5. Tick- ets may be obtained from Mary Dimock, 4 Pembroke’ West. Bertha Goldstein, ’88; Helen Hamil- ton, ’39, and Agnes Spencer, ’39, re- ported on the National A. S. U. con- ference which they attended in Chi- cago. Miss Spencer emphasized the aim of the A. S: U.,' that “it shall be as broad as possible—a liberal or- ganization spread throughout schools _fand colleges,” supporting “democracy jand peace.” She further stressed the need for solidarity with organized labor which is a force responsible’ for public |schools and many other progressive measures. - In~ this connection She urged affiliation with relief work and; the realization of the-evils of “scab- bing” during strikes. Miss Hamilton -presented peace measures which were discussed, such as the improvement of the Peace demonstration in the spring and the continueds attack on R. O. T.

Most people will agree, she. feels, that the requireds, as and alumnae certain common angles of approach. The best kind of required course is obviously one of general interest. A science, for instance, gives. the stu- dent,an idea of the scientific method as a whole arid of deductive reason- | ing. Its second requisite is that it should leave some kind of permanent impression. Little is remembered of a general history course unless branches of it are later studied in detail. On the other hand, literature is retained more accurately without being followed up because it often has a personal emotional coloring at- tached to it. For,this reason require- ments in literature have an advantage. Finally a required course should have freshness and give the student a. new milieu in which to move. The charm of first-year philosophy, which is rarely studied in school; consists in its novelty. English literature is in- cluded in the preparatory school cur-~ in college, is not as fresh a subject as philosophy. Yet there is: reason to believe that in time English litera- ture as a required course can be given with new angles. MR. FENWICK RETURNS FROM .BUENOS AIRES ee Mr. Fenwick returned on January 8 from.

The unsatisfactory system of changing student officers late in the spring is the latest out- worn gas jet unearthed in the campus household. Officially students and administration approve or “view with interest” the proposal to move the time of change up to midyears, but the students at large have as.yet shown no reaction. Against the present arrangement of turning over offices in April opponents urge that new officers have no time at the short end of the _year to initiate policies and action, ‘Those weeks are entirely wasted, the heads.of two major organizations reported to the Council. Juniors: do not begin to assume their responsibilities m the college community soon enough under the existing plan. With seniors in office until almost the bitter end, they tend to hold back their abilities.” The most cogent argument is that seniors preparing for their examinations and devoting all energies to what they and the faculty trust is fairly mature work, do*not want the routine burdens of office occupying more valu- able time. With the final exams almost a reality, the need for an abso- lutely clear path for seniors in their second semester has become obvious. Some -seniors oppose the new. proposal because they feel that if they. did relinquish offices at midyears they would feel retired. from -active college life’ before their time had come. Juniors*regard the idea with distrust because they realize that under the watchful eyes of an experienced senior innovations would be difficult and mistakes over- emphasized. These are, however, objections frop custom and need not necessarily be’ felt after the new plan had been working for. two.or three \ years. . ~ If juniors did take over-the-major-offices_at_midyears, they would require a certain period in which to learn the technicalities of the new job and a certain amount of guidance from the retiring officer on mis- takes not to be made, To meet this objeetion the compromise proposal has come up that there be a month’s lag between the elections and. the actual turnover of office, in which the retiring senior as a kind of honorary chief could. advise in case of need. Whether this proposal - meets the demand for counsel without opening up confusing duplication of work and unfair intrusion by the seniors is a point tidleciged , by campus opinion. Whether exceptions should be made in the plan, if it senead unworkable in certain organizations such as the League, remains to be discussed by the Council. . The advisibility of making this change of office at midyears applies to all college offices except class officers is another uncertain. aspect of the éase. It would, however, confuse the internal organization of the entire college to limit the field. The great- est benefits of the new plan would come from its rearrangement of the four years in college to one half year of adjustment, three years of active community work, and a half year of concentrated study and lesisurely enjoyment of what each girl has liked most in college. The whole prospect of senjor year has become more adult with the advent of comprehensives; relieving the last part of the year of managerial duties would complete the matter in a way profitable to si New M ajor ~ ‘When the Social Economy ‘Department was first inaugurated under the Carola Woerishoffer fund, Miss Thomas and Miss Kingsbury believed ‘that, only students with maturity and previous training would be capable of undertaking the work, and it. was therefore placed in the Graduate School. at igG THE COLLEGE NEWS “ .
